What are you studying? I cant determine if you are interesting in Free Web Sites development, Web Social Effect, Planning and Scheduling, or research.
It would be interesting to read what you have developed until now, since it is not a report :) that you want to submit.
I think that you will get reviews from the active members, and it will only add value to your research. You might get some hard replies, but that is part of the work.
With kind regards,

Well, what I am doing here is a documentary on the development of Planning Planet. In the past year it has tried to develop a more commercial means to cover running costs and also expand the site to make it even better.
The University I go to is Southampton Solent University. But this piece I am doing is for my own personal means. As a student Im studying the site and how it has developed and how easy/difficult it has been.

You are most welcomed. The most important thing is that you benefit from this discussion and you get A+ in you report.
Here are the answers to your questions:
Q: OPINIONS do you think the changes such as the Wiki and the new-look site are an improvement?
A: I read the forum postings only. Didnt visit the wiki yet ;)
Q: Do you think PP is catering more for the planner’s needs?
A: It caters for the needs of people who have questions on the projects that they are working on. Planners, Schedulers, project manager, cost estimators, students, etc... :)
Q: What are your views to the site in general?
A: The site value increases with the diverse discussions each time. Like this one :)
Q: How useful is it? Does it do its job well?
A: When you have people willing to provide answers. It does the job pretty well :)
I think that you can create a list of all the questions that you want and post it on a website for questionaires. You can google it. Then you ask PP to answer your questionair. Good luck.

Most changes done last year have been minor cosmetic changes as PP is close to a major change in the site design. I hope the red hair guy is kept, kind of an icon of PP.
A very relevant change came when PP got into agreement first with ORACLE and latter with ASTA. At the beginning we were skeptical but after ASTA came into play our fears of PP losing its independence are vanishing.
The site is unparalleled; in no other site you will find postings of different competing software side by side. PP does its job better than any. I would say PP is as useful as it can be. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give PP a 100, way over expectations.
About Wiki I do not look at it, believe it to be unreliable but maybe this is part of what makes this place so great, it has quite of an open mind.
Can you tell me where in other planning forum you will find debates about legal issues? PP is unique.

Planning planet is the most usefull website for planners. In this plannet, you will encounter diverse personality, diverse views, diverse way of doing planning/scheduling/project control/forensic schedule analysis.
The content of planning planet give a broad horizon, broad understanding on the planning activities. It is useful because it give planning planet members an advantage to others who are not members, who are innnocent on what the other sides of the oceans view and practice planning.
Planning planet brings a wealth of ideas, concept and details on how to do planning job.
Planning planet also keep members abreast with planning immortals, self proclaims planning immortals.
The ideas in planning planet and what we did here in planning planet will always impact on the way we do planning/scheduling/project control/forensic schedule analysis.
Planning planet gives baptismal of fire from wanabe planners and proper directions.
All are my IMHO, "In my humble opinion"
